First Impressions That Make People Back Away

Hello, I'm Tatsu, who might have a reputation for writing nothing but useless things.

#Let'sEnjoyGreetingMessages

It has been ages since I first thought about joining this project, but I finally did it. I have no idea how many laps behind I am at this point, but the person who called for this is Hiroki Ao.

Now, since the idea is to enjoy this, let's play around with it a bit more.

This greeting message is written at the beginning of the text, but what would happen if I actually used it in a greeting? A first-time meeting. Let's imagine!

Me:
"Nice to meet you, I am Tatsu, who might have a reputation for writing nothing but useless things."

Someone I met:
"Oh... ah, nice to meet you, Tatsu-san. It's a pleasure to meet you (Ugh, some weirdo just showed up)."

This is no good. It's guaranteed to make people back away. Would it be forgiven if it were in the world of a novel? I want it to be forgiven, so I'll write another pattern. Let's call the other person Mr. K.

Me:
"Nice to meet you, Mr. K. I am Tatsu, who might have a reputation for writing nothing but useless things."

Mr. K:
"A pleasure to meet you. I'm afraid I haven't heard of you before, but perhaps useless things aren't actually useless. I am K."

This makes one fall in love. I would like to meet someone in the real world who can respond so smoothly. To do that, I would have to use this greeting with everyone I meet for the first time, but I hesitate to do so.

So, if you are confident that you can keep up with Mr. K, please contact me. And someday, when we meet for the first time, let's have this exchange. I will think of other versions as well. It is questionable whether that can be called a first meeting, but it will surely be an unforgettable memory.
